Buttonholes with yarn reinforcement
For buttonholes that are subjected to higher strain, it makes sense
to reinforce the buttonhole with a thread (crochet, darning yarn or
buttonhole yarn).
TIP
For buttonholes with darning yarn, use only a buttonhole programme
with straight ends.
Cut a length of darning yarn suitable for the length of the buttonhole
and lay this around the buttonhole foot.
Hook the yarn into the mandrel at the rear end of the presser foot
and run the yarn forward and tie it on the front mandrel.
Sew the buttonhole as usual. Make sure that the stitches completely
enclose the yarn.
When the buttonhole programme is fi nished, take the workpiece out
of the machine and cut off the protruding ends of the darning yarn
close to the fabric
TIP
Using darning yarns in this way requires some practice. Create a few
buttonholes on a scrap of material to learn the process.
Sewing on buttons and hooks and eyes
You can use the transparent blue presser foot to sew on buttons, hooks
and eyes easily.
Select the buttonhole programme and adjust the stitch width so it
corresponds to the spacing of the holes.
Lower the fabric feeder

using the lever
21
on the back of the
machine.

Lower the presser foot and place the button between the fabric and
presser foot so that the zigzag stitch enters the holes of the button,
as illustrated.
Check the button is positioned correctly by turning the hand wheel
26
manually. The needle must exactly enter the holes of the button,
otherwise the needle may be damaged. If necessary, change the
width of the zigzag stitch.
At a low speed, sew about 6 to 7 stitches per hole.
For buttons with four holes, the material is shifted with the button: then
6 to 7 stitches are sewn in the other holes. Once you have removed the
fabric, pass a generous length of the upper thread to the underside of
the fabric and knot it to the lower thread there.
